"Come to Bosthirda with me and surrender yourself to the High Prophet himself. He can teach you things you've only dreamed of."

―Lesser Prophet Argor

Bosthirda was a planet of the Sith Empire, close to Korriban and Dromund Kaas, and was located on the Kamat Krote.

History

By the time of the Great Hyperspace War, Bosthirda was located in the territory of the Sith Empire. When the Sith Empire was reconstituted under the Sith Emperor Vitiate, Bosthirda remained under Sith rule.

In 3954 BBY, a group of radical human separatists was formed, dedicated to liberating Bosthirda from the Sith Empire's rule. These separatists were used by Darth Nyriss to stage assassination attempts on herself in order to hide her conspiracy against the Sith Emperor. The Sith Emperor later sent Lord Scourge to investigate the matter on Bosthirda, and he and Sechel uncovered evidence that Nyriss's fellow Dark Councilor Darth Xedrix was in league with the separatists. Scourge then killed Xedrix and the separatists were annihilated by Nyriss's troops.

By the Imperial Era, Bosthirda had become a hidden retreat for the Prophets of the Dark Side. There, Supreme Prophet Kadann made yearly pilgrimages to an ancient temple on Bosthirda. It was also rumored that the Sith Lord Darth Vader once studied at the temple, although none of the Prophets confirmed such rumors.

When Kadann predicted Emperor Palpatine's downfall at Endor, Palpatine sent the Inquisitors to Dromund Kaas, forcing the Prophets to retreat to Bosthirda. After Palpatine's death at Endor, the Prophets plotted in secret on Bosthirda until they were found by Kadann's rogue pupil Azrakel, who massacred the Prophets along with the Dark Lady of the Sith Lumiya and her apprentice Carnor Jax.
